MailScanner and spamassasin

[Thom van der Boon]

Maarten, 

It is very unwise to have a "single" trigger to mark something as spam. If somebody accidentally mails you with this subject it will be marked as spam. 

If you send me your e-mail address, I'll send you some examples I use to catch spam 

Met vriendelijke groet, Best regards,

When I look it up in the docs it seems it should be this? 

header FAKE_PAYMENT_REQUEST Subject =~ /\bmailinglists\b/i
